1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purpose of reviewCardiac transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage heart failure, but its efficacy is limited by the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). Although the adaptive immune system is efficiently suppressed by conventional drugs, the innate immune system is largely unaffected. The innate response may contribute both to stimulation of the adaptive response and to the future development of CAV. RECENT

findingsStimulation of Toll-like receptors by endogenous ligands released in response to ischemia/reperfusion causes an inflammatory milieu favorable to graft rejection and unfavorable to tolerance. New evidence suggests that natural killer cells have previously unknown memory-like features and are capable of graft rejection. Their role in rejecting the cardiac allograft has previously been underestimated. Complement deposition may also contribute to acute cellular rejection and CAV. SUMMARY: The innate immune system is an important but neglected component of allograft rejection. Drugs that target Toll-like receptors, natural killer cells and complement may play an important role in preventing CAV and achieving tolerance to cardiac allografts.
